verse 1 A D I am a young fellow who sails a salt sea E A Byhearted wherever I roam A D Until thine sweet Anne from the town of Tralee E A And now I think only of home A D When I am out on the ocean there far E A I dream that I?m holding her tight A D For her I would raid the moon and the stars E A Just to lie in her arms through the night
D E A A Oh if I had the wings of an eagle A D E E I'd fly to my love on the shore A D E E And never again would I leave her B E A For she is the girl I adore B E A
verse 2 A D We married that spring and contented were they E A As only true lovers can be A D But as captain did call That he had to obey E A And return one last time to the sea
D E A A Oh if I had the wings of an eagle A D E E I'd fly to my love on the shore A D E E And never again would I leave her B E A For she is the girl I adore B E A
verse 3 A D A storm it is raging The sails are all torn E A Our ship it is far from the land A D I grieve from my life Though I face death with scorn E A But I grieve ten times more for sweet Anne
D E A A Oh if I had the wings of an eagle A D E E I'd fly to my love on the shore A D E E And never again would I leave her B E A For she is the girl I adore
